Alienware AW2721D vs LG 34GP83A-B

Everything I say reflects my own and honest opinion. If you like 1440p, this monitor's specs are f***ing insane, right? Well, I couldn't have put it a...

Not even a week and it already needed an RMA. Luckily, the process was painless and I am eagerly waiting for its return.

I'm using a VESA certified KableDirekt DP 1.4 cable and two high end HDMI 2.0 cables, very tight and unnecessarily crowded port area, there’s plenty of space to spread them out more. - Noticeable overshoot in MS Office, web browsing (text) and other apps when using the faster or higher response time setting, sometimes noticeable during gaming as well, you are left using the slowest setting, fast

Now, a low input lag is really important for a responsive, feel when playing video games. And unsurprisingly, this monitor is excellent. You shouldn't...

What is up everyone, it's Mark from Silence Tech and hope you're keeping well. Dell very kindly sent out their Alienware AW2721D which features an IPS...

I had no problems with that and since I am pairing it with the beast of a card EVGA RTX 3080, its a match made in heaven. I did not notice any dead pixels, gaming on a 21:9 aspect ratio is a whole new experience and it comes with 144hz out of the box refresh rate, which can be overclocked to 160hz though I have not tried that yet. Being an IPS panel, the colors are beautiful and I have not had to make any adjustments to those default presets. So far so good

The whole thing is much heavier than i expected, although this allows it to be very sturdy, and while the majority of the outer materials are plastic,...

Design is a little strange, particularly where the legs connect to the pillar, but that's a minor nitpick. The osd is still controllable through a dir...

We test monitors with a Datacolor SpyderX Elite colorimeter, a Murideo SIX-G signal generator, and Portrait Displays' CalMAN 5 software.

- Color quality is great. - Works great over HDMI and DisplayPort with windows. - Low motion blur. - No noticeable input lag

Only issues: 1) Monitor Stand is massive - will have to buy a monitor arm (any recommendations would be appreciated) 2) My box was damaged, missing DP Cable in the box (not Dell's fault). 3) Very inconvenient cable placement, you must take off the removable back panel and swing it around to connect, while this might not be an issue for some, with such a big stand and not a lot of desk room, it is a bit of a hinderance. But it does look clean, so this CON depends on the user. 4) Alienware Command Center cannot locate the monitor (not a big deal, I didn't buy it for the lighting features anyway, but it could be a problem for some gamers) 5) The stand pushes the monitor very forward, not a deal breaker, the monitor arm will fix this issue but from the back of the stand to the front of the monitor, it is around 9 inches, which is a problem if you have a narrow desk

Lg should include a 5w or lower like 2w speaker inside the monitor but they didn’t even though something that screw me up is that the monitor have a bee sound when you turn on I guess that it made by some type of hardware resistor or transistor. The most important is the stand being this monitor that big: stand are ok but bullky and the base take half of my desk space. Also the stand it will bring the monitor closer to you, I wish this monitor bdoesn have the headphones hold on the back of the stand so I can bring my monitor back a little bit. Finally my main complain is that this stand is made with medium quality, if you move your desk or shake or even little force it will make the monitor shake crazy and that is bad for your eye if your monitor is shaking while you looking
